December was inventory time
for us at CharkBait. While getting ready, we
found some gems tucked away in the deepest,
darkest reaches in the barn. Some real
classics for you, at a great price. Also,
ToroTamer is in process of trimming their
offerings and will focus only on their line
and accessory products for 2018 and beyond.
So, several travel rods and lure series will
be discontinued. Those items were a great
value at their regular price, but with a
clearance in progress that pricing goes out
the window and they are indeed being given
away.

The
Original 7 Strand Tuna Clones

These haven't been made in years, found during our inventory of
the deepest, darkest corner of our barn. Lures are in
perfect condition, and are well proven as tuna catchers.
The lures are individually packaged, unrigged. Regular
price was $4.99 and up, that was our original price, and they've
been sold well over that by others. We pulled all inventory from
our San Diego shop to add to what we found in our HB warehouse.

Pakula introduced this effective lure series in 2013, and we
certainly sold plenty of the lures since that time. We made a
large purchase when Pakula left the USA market. We thought we'd
sold out long ago, but in preparation for inventory we found a
couple boxes that were mis-marked tucked away in the barn. We
have two rather large boxes of PAKULA's origninal Uzi and Micro
Uzi lures! Frankly, we could sell these impossible to find
lures at a premium, however... that's not how we do things. The
lures are in perfect condition, new and we're offering them at a
very strong value. Use these lures when the tuna are
feeding on smaller baits. For early season albacore tuna, these
are excellent candy.

Pakula's Hothead Series Micro Uzi Crystal lures are a small,
light trolling lure for use when gamefish are on the smaller
bait. There are many occasions for dragging these diminutive
lures, and don't be surprised to see larger grade fish eating up
small baits. Aggressively feeding fish are opportunistic
feeders, they'll take what's available, and if smaller bait is
what's around, that's exactly what they will target. From a
local standpoint, small lures are a requirement for early season
albacore tuna. When the albies are feeding on smaller
no-see-ums, two eyes and a wiggle, suaries..., this lure is
exactly what's called for. This HotHead is perfection in a
little 4 inch by 1/2 inch size lure. The clear UV over clear
flash skirts encourage lure visibility and will enhance your
odds of getting bit verses any other small lure skirt material
on the market. We're stocking the 4" size in some depth, but
there is also a 5 1/2" version which will gain solid acceptance
as the bait size moves up.

Daho Rigging Needle Kits

A few years
back when ToroTamer came to market with
their 16 and 12 strand spliceable super
braid Daho produced the needle kits offered
by Toro. Then Toro began to produce needles
themselves, and the Daho kits were pushed
further and further back in the warehouse
shelves. Well, just like CharkBait,
Toro does an annual inventory which was
completed last week. Found the
needles, and they need to be sold, Toro has
their own needles and has not need for
duplicate inventory.
So, CharkBait purchased all the Daho product
and we're making it an easy accessory to
buy....

We have two kits for
you, a small 3 piece Ultra Light kit and an
Ultra light to medium test kit. We're
selling the kits far under their regular
price, well under cost. Daho's needles run
$15 for threading and $20 for loops and
latches. Do the math, this is a very good
deal for those working with hollow core
braid and leaders from 60# and down.
Quantities are quite limited 25 pieces of
the Ultra light kit and 50 of the light to
medium kits.

is trimming their
offerings, focusing more on their braided
lines and discontinuing many other products
for 2018. We're closing out those items now
for rather ridiculous prices. Pricing and
availability is for stock on hand only, once
gone no more will be produced.

SOFT TakoBUY ONE GET
ONE FREE!

The Soft Tako has been a real winner, catching
many species of fish. Bass love 'em,
rockfish, lingcod, most anything that looks
for food near rocks and reefs will jump on
this favored forage. They mimic an octopus,
and to most fish that's a taste tempting
delight. We have these unique lures
produced in four sizes and five color
patterns. The lures are priced right, and they
will offer anglers something that fish haven't
seen much of, but something that's a tasty
treat for all species of fish, OCTOPUS!
Toro brought these lures to market about
five years ago, and they've been steady
sellers. Toro is in the process of clearing
out a good chuck of space at their
warehouse, will begin narrowing their focus
to only the braided lines. So, the lures are
going away. We bought all they had,
and we're passing along the close out
savings to you.

How to fish 'em: First
thing, make use of some good scent like
Hot
Sauce, Uni-Butter, Pro Cure, Smelly Jelly. All
these things can make a difference in how long
the fish will accept an imitation bait and
they all are effective in this regard.
Consider how an octopus moves, and mimic that
action. There are times an octopus will slowly
creep along the bottom, and there are times
they are fired up and in flight moving pretty
darn quickly to get away from another
predator. So, in reality you can fish these
lures a few different ways. We experimented
fishing them as we would a knife jig
vertically and we also fished 'em as we would
a swim bait, and I have to say we got bit both
ways. If the water was cooler, we found
greater success fishing 'em slow along the
bottom, and that makes sense too. So, please
try different things, vary your presentation
and make use of a good scent or squid strip on
the lure. If you spend the time, you will be
rewarded!

The new lures are
available in some very attractive colors,
Orange, Purple Haze, DEEP Purple, White and
Chartreuse. The come in four weights, 24 gm
(.85 oz), 46 gm (1.6 oz), 85 gm (~3 oz)
and
110 gm (4 oz) weights, with lengths of 90,
110, 130 and 150 mm.

All lures feature a
double hook arrangement, with both single and
treble hooks rigged for sure hookups.

Size 1 -

Toro Tamer
Bucktail JigsBUY 1 GET 1 FREE

Bucktail
jigs are workhorses, productive for a wide
variety of fish, and successfully fished in a
few different styles. They can be used cast and
retrieve and vertically. They can be dragged
along the bottom, they can be used with a slab
from fresh cut bait, with a curly tail grub,
bottom line they are flexible producers of
gamefish. Over the past 15 years we've stocked
some wonderful bucktails from several
manufacturers, SPRO, P-Line and ProFishCO. Every
one of them had some characteristics we liked,
and some features we desired to see...but
didn't. Sadly, two of those suppliers stopped
production of their lures. So, ToroTamer came
along and made their own, based on what we
wanted to see.

At our shop in Huntington Beach we are fortunate
to have a very talented private boater, Beta,
who is one of the best white seabass fishermen I
know. Several years ago he began using a jig
(that I'll claim credit to introducing him to) a
simple bucktail jig. Beta fished 'em with a
fresh dead squid and found it was perfection,
almost a do-nothing bait that was his most
productive secrete weapon for WSB. There were
two problems, the
hook could be improved, and even more of a
problem, the supplier for the jig went out of
business. ToroTamer's design is not unique, far
from it, it's simply a refinement of an already
very good lure - and it's made with the right
kind of skirting and right kind of hook. There
are four color patterns available for the jigs,
white, glow, red and white and blue and white.
The
lures all feature a fishskin with unique UV
properties and glow. All lures are hand tied,
and then reinforced so that they'll hold up
well. For those of you who know the productivity
of bucktail jigs and are familiar with their
use, you'll find plenty of things to appreciate
with these designs. To those new to fishing a
bucktail, put some time in fishing them and you
will discover a new go-to lure for sure.

The
Illuminata
Deep Water Lures from ToroTamer!

BUY 1 GET 1 FREE

The
Illuminata has been one of our best selling and best producing lures
since it's introduction in late 2010. We've made some improvements and
added some new flavors for our most recent production. Our Illuminata takes the knife jig
to a different plane by adding even more fish
attraction to the mix. This lure offers a
great shape for vertical jigging, offers a wonderful flutter, and with
the light stick option you get noticed at depths other lures simply
won't. Further for the guys hitting the jigs at night, these have the
ability of turning on a bite like no other lure. These new and well proven lures
have a space in the body where you can add a
small light stick to further attract a bite.
For deep water fishing, this additional
attraction will ensure that your jig gets
noticed, it will make a difference in your
catch rate. The lures have luminescent bellies, but
there's nothing like the green glow of an
internal light stick to really turn on an
otherwise lethargic predator. Each lure comes
with three long lived light sticks, and we
have additional light sticks available at a
very attractive price. One thing you'll
appreciate, these top quality light sticks
will glow for up to 12 hours time! (And in all
honesty, we've had some glow for two days!) Our Illuminata lures are available in two sizes,
100 and 200 grams (3.5 & 7
ounces).

Of course the lures are thru-wired for strength and security. They also
have a welded ring attached to a split ring at the nose for easy
rigging. Each lure comes with THREE lightsticks.

Toro Tamer
Metal Swimmers

BUY 2 GET 1 FREE

Toro
Tamer's Metal Swimmers are an update of an old
lure which we loved,
but unfortunately went
away. It's based on a old Dymara jig from about
15 years back.

The old lure was produced in
Poland, came to America by way of Canada. The
manufacturer went out of business, could not
offer the lures here at a reasonable price. They
were a big producer for me personally and that
was motivation to create molds for this
production. The lure was great for yellowtail,
with bass and tuna being among the catches that
the lures produced. The largest size also did
quite well on wahoo. Here's what makes the lures
so darn effective, it's their shape. There are
many similar lures on the market, but with
closer inspection you can easily see why this
design is more productive. They produce more
action on the drop. They can be fished on the
slide like a standard megabait type jig, but in
the cast-and-retrieve mode they are far more
effective. They produce an enticing flutter on
the drop. The body is thinner, with luminescent
belly, and there's a slight curve to the lure.
This can be easily increased or decreased by the
angler to customize the lures "fall." We've also
enhanced the rigging of these wonderful lures.
The ToroTamer Metal Swimmer comes with a welded
ring on the nose rather than a split ring, and
the hooks are upgraded in both quality and size
given the target species can be quite a bit
bigger than your basic bass or rockfish (which
these lures also handle quite nicely).

These
excellent lures are available in five sizes and
five color patterns. The lures are offered in
the following weights: 7, 4.5, 3.6, 2.3 and 1.6
ounces. Lure lengths are: 6", 5", 4.5", 4" and
3.5 inches. We use Mustad 3561ED 3X hooks on all
the lures, running a 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, and 5/0
on the lures, from smallest to largest sized
lure. How do these lures compare to similar
products which are on the market? The Toro Tamer
Swimmers make use of better and more expensive
hooks than similar products, the rigging is
better with the welded nose ring - thru wired of
course, the lures are triple clear coated so the
finish lasts longer, and they catch fish better
given the enhanced shape. In summary, this is a
lure that no tackle box should be without.

Toro Tamer Wahoo Ripper- Cast and Rip Bait For Wahoo
and more...

BUY 2 GET 1 FREE

Toro
Tamer's Wahoo Ripper is a proven product, based
in large part on Perry See Hoe's original
designs. Perry, who started Raider Lures in
Australia met with some unfortunate, unethical
treatment here - could not sell his jigs under
his own tradename. He has since retired and
moved on, and what's been sold in this country
as Raider Jigs has not been the original product
for many, many years, long story behind that
episode of bad business behavior. The current
"Raider" jigs are made from steel rather than
the more expensive brass - ours maintain the
original material.
Lure weight with Toro Tamer's production is still 125 and 200 grams, in both
chrome and gold finish. They are still made from solid
BRASS so they drop fast and are super strong.
Here's the downside, the cost of brass is what put
the larger 5 and 7 ounce Krocodile spoons out of
production - those lures would have ended up
costing $30 or more...at dealer cost, given the
price
of the brass. And, that high cost is why the
American "raider" jigs are now made from steel -
a much cheaper alternative production material.
Toro Tamer's production carried a higher
cost too based upon raw materials, but we're
willing to work far thinner in terms of our own
margins as is Toro Tamer in order to bring the
real deal back to USA fishermen instead of a
cheaper knockoff which only shares the same name
as the more productive original.

There's a
reason we don't go to steel for the product, it's
not as good. The lures need to be produced from
brass - just like the original Krocs. But, brass
is expensive. This is probably the same
reasoning effecting the steel production of USA "Raider" Jigs.
They've not produced in brass for over 2 years time. Since we are
factory direct we can hold prices down better, but
in the case of the increase in raw material
charges even with our efficiencies and direct
marketing these are not inexpensive jigs. If they
weren't such a basic staple on the long range
scene we might have given up too. But, the fact
is, these are a go-to bait for wahoo, arguably the
some of the best jigs ever made for the 'hoo.
We're working very thin on these lures, trying
to keep the price down and the quality up - and
maintaining the benefits of brass in this
classic lure design which was strongly
influenced by the originator, Perry See Hoe.

Our regular price
is far better than similar competing lures,
for just a few days we offer them at a price that's a bit nuts. But,
then again it does get things rolling for this week's specials!

The Toro
Tamer Subsurface Swimmer: You may be aware of a similar lure that's been on the
Japanese market and gained some following in this country (shibuki).
That piece proved effective as a casting lure and as a
trolled lure, and cost a good $50 unrigged! Pricing was a
function of a few things, among them a good old boy network
created by the Japanese firm selling them. They didn't take
much of an interest in anyone but a chosen few selling them
on this side of the pond. That's a restraint of competition
in my humble opinion, and helps explain the high price of
the lure. As you can see, we have a broader selection of colors
available, similar design, quality built to withstand
punishment from the toughest fish. The weight and length is the same as the
more expensive Japanese import. We are making these
wonderful lures available both rigged and unrigged. The
first ones available are the unrigged lures. Our rigged
lures will feature quality treble hooks of
appropriate strength. The unrigged lures have been used by
guys with both trebles and single hooks.

The lures are great
casters, with some heft to them and a unique internal
magnetic weight transfer system that aids in the cast
and provides a sonic attraction as well. They are
thru-wired for extra strength. The lures are 80 grams (~3
ounces) in weight and 20 cm long (7.9"). They will dive up
to 2 meters ~ 6 feet and are rated for a 50 kg (100#)
breaking strength. You'll note the quality of construction
upon inspection, and we encourage you to compare these lures
to any on the market.

These lures have taken
tuna, some big ones during our evaluation stage a few
years back, as well as yellowtail and many other species of
fish. They will also surprise you with their ability to
troll effectively, partially as a result of the stabilizing
dorsal fin. While they were designed for big fish, they'll
prove very effective on smaller fish - with some of our
local guys using them to great effect on BIG calico bass.
The lures are very well overbuilt.

Unrigged lures ordered from this page will come with 3
300#+ test rings. Click on the image to examine more
closely.

Note the magnetic weight transfer system with rear pad
at the tail to prevent cracking of lure, and the
balancing weight rear.
Of course the lures are properly thru wired and can
well handle over 100# of stress, meaning there is NO
issue dealing with larger grade tuna and
appropriately HIGH drag settings.
